Where it appears
Daniel · 6
-
Daniel 2:39 אָחֳרִ֖י אָחֳרִי֙ another
But after you, there will arise another kingdom, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule the whole earth.
-
Daniel 7:5 אָחֳרִ֨י another
Suddenly another beast appeared, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. So it was told, ‘Get up and gorge yourself on flesh!’
Here: Feminine form agreeing with 'beast'. It marks this as a distinct creature, not a transformation of the lion of verse 4.
-
Daniel 7:6 אָֽחֳרִי֙ another
Next, as I watched, suddenly another beast appeared. It was like a leopard, and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
-
Daniel 7:8 אָחֳרִ֤י another
While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
Here: 'Another', meaning one added to the ten. Verse 7:24 adds that this king will be 'different from the former ones'.
-
Daniel 7:20 וְאָחֳרִי֙ and another [horn]
I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn whose appearance was more imposing than the others, with eyes and with a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
Here: 'And the other one': feminine, so it means another horn. It recalls v.8, 'another horn, a little one'. It is set apart from the ten as something different.
